I see no posts from Fredrik Lundh (PIL maintainer I think) since a lot of time... In response to this deficiency in PIL, Michele Petrazzo created FreeImagePy which uses ctypes to access the FreeImage library. However it is incomplete I don't wrap some functions because I don't need them! Those are only advanced and normally I don't use them into my programs. and does not yet offer all the features of FreeImagePy, and I don't think it has anything like Imagedraw (please correct me if I'm wrong Michele). This is right. I tried to do it, but the problem it's that I need a freetype (I think that it's the only one that can help me to do this) python binding that wrote the text strings by me. And now I have no time for take my code into my hands and end the wrap... If some one want to end it... :) Michele smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
Re: [Image-SIG] Need Tiff Help
Sorry - I have no time to help you right now. But yoiu really should try to make a PIL image object out of your read TIFF image with the other library, so you can use everything available in PIL.
